Lyics

I KNOW that my Redeemer lives,

And ever prays for me;

A token of His love He gives,

A pledge of liberty.



I find Him lifting up my head;

He brings salvation near:

His presence makes me free indeed,

And He will soon appear.



He wills that I should holy be;

Shall I withstand His will?

The counsel of His grace in me

He surely shall fulfill.



Jesus, I hang upon Thy word;

I steadfastly believe

Thou wilt return, and claim me, Lord,

And to Thyself receive.
